Hi cosmic,
<<There are more cruel societies than ones that haven't been cruel. >> And I think that's the reason, there is so much turmoil.constantly throughout the world.. Pretend a "street gang" is a microcosm of a nation.. Constant retaliation. eye for an eye mentality. Never settled, .. Neither side, never satisfied.. . Take this analogy a step lower to the Hatfields and McCoys.. I guessed they "spanked" each other for years.. (using 90's language for spanking leaders). Oh dear..
So we as citizens turn over "policing" to a "higher authority ", impartial authority local police... Because their is always going to be out of control "rogues" , individuals or groups of .. The community, local to global needs "policing".. And the only way IMO, is to have a "disintested", even-handed police force.. And that takes a:
Giant "Leap of faith and Trust" for our friends to the right of us.. A Global police force.. ie like the United Nations.. No ALLIANCES. between selected chosen countries..ie NATO, WARSAW pact..etc..
Where EACH and EVERY country contributes people and resources, equal proportions to size .. Pay "taxes" to pay for it... A country will not lose it's individuality, but it would be analogous to "our states rights" (which the Right believed in until last Fall, g.). BTW, our individual states do not go after each other much..last time about 140-150 years ago..
There would require tremendous faith and trust in the entity and a world court system..
Anyway cosmic, that is a rough outline, roughly written..but you know what I mean.. And BTW, I do have comments about animal societies and their relation to our often "animalistic" society..
I have to get ready here..
Take care...
